I have never financially been able to own an Alan Gibson kit but today one appeared through the door.
Yippee!
It has been started and then either the builder was moved by something else or died.
The body part which he started has been beautifully made.
This guy knew what he was doing.
I wonder who he was?
So many thoughts go through my mind when I pick up a project like this.
The smell of the old and complete instructions and all those bits!
I will have to spend a few hours to go painstakingly through it to make sure all is there.
A few of the parts are soaking in lemon juice at the moment.
It came complete with motor wheels and gear box which is what I was searching for.
The motor was solid at first but still new but left for decades.
One hour later after using a hair dryer and spinning it with my mini drill she freed up nicely.
I think it's a DS10. It's a five pole.
Big smile on my face today.

That was a great find Pete. They are wonderful kits. I saw one recently which was very well made at an exhibition few months back. It was without doubt the best looking Jinty I have seen, looking forward to seeing yours with paint.
